This snake has large, shining eyes. In real snakes, large eyes with big, round pupils indicates a nonvenomous (technically, no snakes are poisonous. Poison is INGESTED, venom is INJECTED). In this beauty, it just means he's cute.
Snake Bytes: In the United States, where I live, 95% of all snake bites, fatal or otherwise, are provoked. This is one of the reasons to NOT kill snakes on sight- you're actually more likely to be bitten than you are to kill it. Also, how would you like it if YOU were beaten, stabbed, and discriminated against because the general population though you were gross?
